transmission-daemon(1) writes out its entire config on exit.
Noticed while deploying with openvox, where the usual chain is:
- install package
- produce (partial) config file
- (re)start service (upon change)
But as the daemon updates the file, this would obviously cause
change -> restart loops, so soft-reload to apply config without
process exit is needed.
Works like a charm using the package's service as-is.
OK?
